I can accept the fact that i kind of like this album. But i cannot accept that this is dark age, to avoid these radical style changes artists usually start side project's.
On the other hand first time i heard this album i was really high and the chorus on first song Nero really caught my attention.
If i were you i would give this album a try. For metal folks that don't like music that has little too much "Pop" feeling stay away, but you will miss some beautiful guitar work and melodies along with great vocals. But yay i like Katatonia, Anathema, Antimatter if your music taste end's with thrash and death metal then stay safe, stay away from this album.
